5. Remove the bleeder screw.
Caution: Use a plastic or wooden pick to remove the piston seal from the caliper bore. A metal tool may scratch or nick the seal groove, which
could result in a seal leak.
Note: Inspect the caliper bore for wear, rust, or pits. If any of these conditions exist, do not hone; a new caliper must be installed.
6. Remove the piston seal.
Assembly
Caution: Do not use denatured alcohol to clean rubber components or assemblies that have rubber components. Cleaning rubber components with
denatured alcohol weakens the rubber and may result in failure of the component.
Caution: Never allow any petroleum product or mineral oil to contact the inside of a brake hydraulic system. Mineral oil and petroleum products
deteriorate the natural rubber seals used in brake hydraulic system. If a brake system becomes contaminated, it must be flushed with clean brake fluid
and all rubber seals and flex hoses replaced. Use DOT 3 brake fluid.
Note: Be sure the seal is not twisted and is firmly seated in the caliper bore.
Note: Clean all brake caliper components. All parts must be air-dried completely. Coat all internal parts and piston seals with DOT 3 brake fluid
before installation.
1. To assemble, reverse the disassembly procedure.
